I am usually pretty successful as Voldo in the one player mode of Soul Calibur III and today was no different. Again, Voldo's strength lies in his unpredictable and powerful abilities. My personal favorite of his many stances is the Mantis Crawl inwhich he stands on four limbs, face first, giving him optimal position for dodging attacks as well as executing them. However, aside from the stances, in this parituclar game experience I found the Manas and Ayus the weapons of choice for general play. In my opinion, they are that which the player is most balanced and most easily accustomed to. However,I did appreciate the Karma and Mara weaponry obtained in Chapter 8 Merak. With this option I had a much stronger defense (an increase much needed against opponents like gnisngs).Since I have played this game many times before the journey was fun and just challenging enough for gameplay to remain as such. I did however have slight trouble at the chapter versus Talim. It seemed as though during this battle, each attack on the opponent was met with a range of side steps which I will admit are a little difficult at times to respond to with Voldo as your player. Also, Talim utilized Voldo's lack on mid- range moves and at times sporatic blocking abilitiy to her advantage, making my job a little more difficult at this stage. However, the character was eventually defeated along with the journey in due time.

Soul Calibur 3 is a fun 3D fighting game. Although it is not as good as Soul Calibur II, it still remains an entertaining and challenging pastime. Chronicles of the Sword mode is interesting to explore, many avenues of gameplay are available in this mode. When I'm in the mood for unlocking special items etc or simply want to kick butt, this is the mode I play while paying no attention to the storyline what so ever. Next, I enjoy one player mode rather intensely, when I get into it there is no stopping me. Each character is generally fun and useful in this mode, with faults and strengths pertaining to each. I do, however, enjoy reading the actual stories in this mode because they do tend to be subsequently more interesting and entertaining than that of the Chronicles of the Sword (no idea why they seem different to me, they just do). I will admit that I am however partial to Voldo when it comes to any type of gameplay, especially one player. In my opinion, he has the most interesting and unpredictable abilities of the entire series. I really enjoy the variety in his stances as well as the overall hilarity of his general demeanor. For example, while all other characters taunt opponents with harsh words and criticism, Voldo, in all his greatness, completely bypasses the notion of forming words at all when speaking. Instead, this ultimate scientific experiment hisses and grunts to get your attention. Seeing as how this is so prevalent in the game, especially in the loading process, my take on the matter is that Voldo is so incredibly talented that he simply doesn't have to engage in normal conversation with opponents, he does whatever he wants. In short, Voldo owns them all. Aside from personality etc., I find the story of Voldo most interesting of all, there is something about the search for a girl that entices me for some reason. I also enjoy a participation in the versus mode as I do find a battle with friends fun too.
